A New Clue for Prostate Cancer Survival

A recent study, published on Nature, looked at a question that matters just as much as prostate cancer risk: why do some tumors stay quiet while others become life-threatening after diagnosis? The researchers searched for genes whose activity might be linked to survival, not just to the chance of developing the disease. To do this, […]

BRCA-Altered mCSPC Progresses Faster on ARPIs: A Real-World Treatment Gap

Recent real-world data clarify how homologous recombination repair (HRR) alterations, especially BRCA1/2 mutations, affect outcomes in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). In a US cohort of 745 patients, overall differences in time-to-next-treatment (TTNT) and time-to-castration resistance (TTCR) were modest between patients without HRR alterations and those with non-BRCA […]

Real-World OPTYX Study: Sustained Castration and Rapid Testosterone Recovery with Relugolix

Relugolix (Orgovyx), the first oral androgen deprivation therapy approved for advanced prostate cancer, continues to show consistent performance in real-world settings. New data from the OPTYX study, a prospective observational analysis, provide further evidence on testosterone suppression, recovery, and PSA control in routine clinical practice. The study included 999 patients, predominantly with nonmetastatic disease and […]

B7-H3 Emerges as Prime Target for Prostate Cancer Across All Stages

A 2026 study published in Clinical Cancer Research has pinpointed B7-H3 as a standout therapeutic target for prostate cancer, offering hope against the disease’s toughest forms. The work analyzed tissue from prostate cancer patients across the full spectrum, from hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant to neuroendocrine and “double-negative” subtypes, revealing B7-H3’s consistent, broad expression. This uniformity stands […]

B7‑H3 Expression Shapes Prognosis Differently Across Prostate Cancer Stages

A new observational study of more than 8,000 prostate tumors shows that B7‑H3 (CD276) expression helps shape prognosis and could open new paths for targeted therapies. Researchers analyzed 8,157 prostate cancer samples with matched DNA and RNA data, stratifying them by tissue site, hormone‑sensitivity status, and self‑reported race, then examined how B7‑H3 levels related to […]

ctDNA and Fragmentomics Reveal New Predictors of Survival in 177 Lu-PSMA–617 mCRPC

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains one of the most challenging stages of prostate cancer, marked by poor prognosis and limited durable treatment options. The radioligand therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) has emerged as a significant advance, demonstrating an overall survival benefit in selected patients. However, clinical responses vary widely, highlighting an urgent need for biomarkers that […]

Immune‑transcriptomic correlates of response to alpha‑ versus beta‑emitting PRRT in neuroendocrine tumors

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is being used more often to treat certain solid tumors, such as neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptors and some prostate cancers. One form of PRRT uses a beta‑emitting drug (177Lu‑DOTATATE), which is currently the standard treatment for many of these neuroendocrine tumors. Another, newer approach uses an alpha‑emitting drug […]

Healthy Eating After Prostate Cancer Tied to Lower Risk of Frailty

Eating a healthier diet after a prostate cancer diagnosis may help men age with more strength and resilience, according to a large prospective observational U.S. study that will be presented at the AACR 2026 meeting. The analysis followed more than five thousand men from the Health Professionals Follow‑up Study who were not frail when they […]

Higher Vitamin D Levels Before Diagnosis Linked to Better Prostate Cancer Survival

A large international pooled analysis of over twelve thousand men with prostate cancer adds substantial evidence that men who have higher circulating levels of vitamin D before their diagnosis tend to live longer after developing the disease. The study, which will be presented at AACR Annual Meeting 2026, focused on 25‑hydroxyvitamin D, the major blood […]

Darolutamide Linked to Better Real‑World Outcomes than Enzalutamide or Apalutamide in nmCRPC

A large real‑world study in nonmetastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) called DEAR‑EXT, published on Nature, has added new detail to how the three androgen receptor inhibitors (darolutamide, enzalutamide, and apalutamide) behave outside of randomized trials, using data from over 1,300 men treated in US urology practices between 2019 and 2023. The analysis builds on an […]
